The tradition of burning tuki and diyalo, which identifies the lifestyle of the ancestors and the time, is beginning to disappear. These traditions are disappearing with the rapid expansion of electricity and use of alternative energy in the villages of the district.

Aaron, which was seen in the rural areas of the district a decade and a half ago, has also been displaced recently. Bishwakarma, which operates the iron profession, said that the traditional profession of making iron tools is disappearing after the practice of using imported agricultural tools started.

Even though electricity has not reached all the places in the rural areas of the district, the tradition of burning tuki and diyalo in the dark is about to disappear as kerosene is not available on time and even diyalo cannot be extracted from the pine tree as before.

“Due to the development in the villages, people in the rural areas of the district now use solar panels for lighting instead of tuki and diyalo,” said Prakash Subedi of Dhawalagiri village municipality-7. As it happens, their attraction has increased. ” He said that they have been living on tuki and diyalo for generations but they have disappeared due to the recent expansion of electricity and development of alternative energy.

Locals of Raghuganga Gaonpalika-6 have started using solar instead of Tuki and Diyalo even in remote villages of Myagdi where electricity is not available from the central transmission line. Ward Chairman Mankumar Sherpurja said.

Himali Chhantyal of Raghuganga Gaonpalika-6 Thadakhani said that it has become easier for children to read and watch television at night after installing solar. As the village is attracted to alternative energy, some community forest user groups in the district have been spending a certain percentage of their income on installing solar in their homes.
